laid 'n plaid

May 19

ah, but maybe it’s the way you were taught.
or maybe it’s the way we fought.
but a smile never grins without tears to begin
for each kiss is a cry we all lost.
though there is nothing left to gain
but for the banshee that stole the grave.
‘cause we find ourselves in the same old mess
singin’ drunken lullabies.
